单选题Don't smoke in the meeting-room,______?

单选题It's normal to think of a conversation as taking place between people who are in the same room, surrounded by the same set of physical objects and influences, and aware of each other's facial and bodily gestures. When this is not so, the difference is 27 by using another term for what is going on 'telephone conversation' for instance. As a consequence of their situation, conversationalists (交谈者) are able to place a great deal of 28 on the immediately surrounding bit of the world—what may be called the 'extra-linguistic context' in their 29 to communicate with each other: a raised eyebrow, a 30 movement, a glance towards some person or thing, may 'say' a great deal without the need for any words at all. Thus, to anyone listening at a keyhole, and so 31 of the contextual cues, the language being used may well sound 32 , incomplete, and probably difficult to hear at times, because of the great changes of speed and loudness that can so easily be used by people sitting or standing 33 close to each other. Conversationalists will also, as a rule, be relaxed and not unduly worried about the 34 they are creating unlike the lecturer, or the person 35 an interview. Slips and errors of grammar will be frequent, and will bother no-one: they certainly form an expected part of conversation, and perhaps even a welcome one, because to talk too smoothly and correctly is to run the risk of sounding like a book and no one likes to talk to a book. Similarly, slight carelessness of pronunciation will be common, and few people will bother to go in for the 'tidying up' of speech, or the adoption of an unusually 'posh' accent that is sometimes 36 in circumstances where it is thought necessary to 'create impression'. A. straightforward B. noticeable C. deprived D. reference E. relatively F. recognized G. accused H. impression I. illustrating J. slight K. attempt L. undergoing M. reliance N. consequently O. inexplicit

单选题If you're one of those people who tends to put on weight around your middle, what doctors call an 'apple shape'—what the rest of us call a beer belly—you've probably been told that you're at higher risk of heart disease. But one large new review study suggests you shouldn't be too 25 after all. It turns out that the apple-shaped among us are not at any higher risk of heart trouble as people with pear shapes or any other kind of fat 26 . In the latest study, researchers at the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration in the UK reviewed records of more than 220000 participants in 58 different trials that followed 27 for more than 10 years for heart-related events. They found that body shape, or fat distribution, did not seem to affect heart disease risk. In fact, the researchers write in the journal Lancet, various measures of obesity, including body mass index (or BMI, a combined measure of height and weight), waist circumference (周长) and waist-to-hip ratio, all had about the same 28 value in identifying increased risk of a heart attack. What's more, 29 to the forecasting power of known risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and a history of diabetes, the obesity measures added very little to the 30 of risk assessment. Previous studies had focused not just on overweight, but on the type and 31 of fat deposits as a red flag for heart disease. The thinking was that even without blood tests for cholesterol or blood pressure, body shape alone could alert doctors and patients to the fact that patients might be at higher risk of heart problems. One headline-grabbing survey reported a three-fold 32 risk in heart disease among those with abdominal fat—folks with apple-shaped bodies—and speculated that visceral (内脏的) fat, which tends to 33 around the middle, is particularly hazardous for the heart, since it nestles deep within organs and can pump out hormones that 34 insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity and promote diabetes.
